Facial Spider Veins Can Be Treated

One of the worst things about facial spider veins is the name itself. The thin red lines that seem to stretch across areas of the cheeks and nose suggest a similarity to the strands of a spider’s web. These red lines are in reality dilated capillaries extending in all directions from a slightly larger blood vessel called an arteriole. Sometimes, when the capillaries are so small that individual lines are difficult to distinguish, the effect is just a general redness in the skin.

Spider veins on the face are harmless and cause no pain or discomfort. They are the result of exposure to sun, inflammation such as acne rosacea, or chronic skin irritation. Facial spider veins also increase with age.

Facial spider veins are one of the most common cosmetic concerns. Although veins are quite visible everywhere on our bodies, including our temples, the small facial spider veins seem intrusive, draw more attention and are therefore often considered as blemishes to one’s attractiveness.
